H1B Renewal - Dropbox - 221g
Hello everyone. My experience was as follows:
- I work as a FTE at a known company in US. I have been on my H1B for the past three years and I was due for my first H1B renewal during my travel to Hyderabad. I went for Dropbox and dropped the documents on 12th Nov at Hyderabad Visa office.
- Next day, I got a message saying my passport was ready for pick up. I went and picked up the passport on 18th Nov and noticed that my visa wasn't stamped and instead I was given a white paper (221-g) asking to appear for interview between 10AM - 11AM any weekday.
- I went to the interview on 20th Nov. Fingerprints were taken before appearing in front of the visa officer. The lady asked me a few basic questions regarding my role, how long I have been with the company, my salary, university I studied at and if I ever had a transfer of university, any prior issues with visas. At the end she kept my passport and told me that my application would need some processing. And then I left. The same thing happened with a couple other 221-g candidates who were in front of me in the queue.
As of today (21 Nov), according to CEAC website, my application is currently in "Administrative Processing". I hope it gets approved as soon as possible. I will try and keep this thread updated. Anyone in the same boat are welcome to comment, so we can keep track of each other's progress.
